Transposing "When the Saints Go Marching In" up an octave we get...

High Octave
7+ 8+ 9 9+, 7+ 8+ 9 9+, 7+ 8+ 9 9+ 8+ 7+ 8+ 8, 8+ 8+ 8 7+, 7+ 8+ 9+ 9+ 9, 9 8+ 9 9+ 8+ 7+ 8 7+

Mid Octave
4+ 5+ 5 6+, 4+ 5+ 5 6+, 4+ 5+ 5 6+ 5+ 4+ 5+ 4, 5+ 5+ 4 4+, 4+ 5+ 6+ 6+ 5, 5 5+ 5 6+ 5+ 4+ 4 4+

Analyze what changed from the mid octave to the high octave and we'll discuss this more tomorrow.
